“When it is understood that one loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them, the essence of natural farming will be realized. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”

As 140 acres of trees adjacent to us goes into the shredder for paper pulp { preparing the ground to recieve Round Up Ready row crops } I hear a neighbor say " Well , it will be good to see things cleaned up around here " . So , trees are dirty ? There is certainly alot of work to be done .

"Today we are faced with a challenge that calls for a shift in our thinking, so that humanity stops threatening its life-support system. We are called to assist the Earth to heal her wounds and in the process heal our own – indeed, to embrace the whole creation in all its diversity, beauty and wonder. This will happen if we see the need to revive our sense of belonging to a larger family of life, with which we have shared our evolutionary process."

" Husbandry is the name of all practices that sustain life by connecting us conservingly to our places and our world ; it is the art of keeping tied all the strands in the living network that sustains us . And so it appears that most and perhaps all of industrial agricultures manifest failures are an attempt to make the land produce without husbandry . " - Wendell Berry

Every day I see the spark of Excellence shining like a beacon in the darkness.
There is more going on in these forums than talk about plants, and chickens and winter heating. There are Dreams being cast, wishes being made, and people striving to become better than they are.

More than anything else, this site is about Hope.
